gWLM provides an advisory mode that allows you to see how gWLM
will approximately respond to a given SRD configuration—without
putting gWLM in charge of your system’s resources. Using this
mode, you can safely gain a better understanding of how gWLM works.
In addition, you can check that your policies behave as expected—with
minimal effect on the system.
Advisory mode is not available for SRDs containing virtual machines,
psets, or fss groups due to the nature of these compartments.
Once you are comfortable with an SRD, change its mode to Managed
to let gWLM manage resource allocation for the compartments in the
SRD.
For information on changing modes, refer to “Changing from Advisory Mode to Managed Mode”.
